How to move words from side to side in C deprogramming language

The printf() function has a large number of options and the one you're using here enables you to write a value within a field which is a minimum of 'n' characters wide. 

If the value to be printed is shorter than this number, the result is padded with blank spaces. 

So, on a normal console window which is 80 characters wide, the following line will cause the string, ball, to be printed at the end of the line, preceded by 76 spaces:

printf("%80s\n","ball");
